Did Obi Wan tell Luke a pack of Lies?
We already know that Obi Wan lies to Luke in ANH at least once:
But there are a few more things from Episode IV that I find hard to believe will be possible when we see Episode III:
So, before Luke is born he stops calling himself Obi Wan and changes his name to Ben Kenobi.
So, Anakin wanted Luke to have his own Light Sabre? And he asked Obi Wan (who had now changed his name to Ben) to look after it. Yet, he forgets all about his son soon after this, and Ben hides him on Tatooine.
I am amazed that the film series holds up as well as it does actually, but something is going to be wrong there. Either that or Obi Wan was really laying 'Your father was a great Jedi' at little thick in that scene.
We already know that Obi Wan lies to Luke in ANH at least once:
LUKE: How did my father die?
BEN: A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi Knights. He betrayed and murdered your father. Now the Jedi are all but extinct. Vader was seduced by the Dark side of the Force.
But there are a few more things from Episode IV that I find hard to believe will be possible when we see Episode III:
BEN: Obi-Wan Kenobi...Obi-Wan? Now thats a name I haven't heard in a long time...a long time.
LUKE: I think my uncle knew him. He said he was dead.
BEN: Oh, he's not dead, not...not yet.
LUKE: You know him!
BEN: Well of course, of course I know him. He's me! I haven't gone by the name Obi-Wan since oh, before you were born.
So, before Luke is born he stops calling himself Obi Wan and changes his name to Ben Kenobi.
BEN: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damned-fool idealistic crusade like your father did.
